Fossiland

Purchase

Offering highest bids for your Fossils

"What is a fossil worth?" Asked the magazine Der Spiegel in a post 2013 and gave the succinct answer: "A fossil is worth as much as it gets paid for."

The essence of the statement is due to the fact that for outsiders hardly any other market is as opaque and enigmatic as the trade in fossils. If the value of minerals, such as to estimate diamonds according to defined criteria, the same applies to fossils: each piece is unique. In this respect one could think, also each purchase offer is correct and none wrong.

In this respect, the same principles apply as for expert reports. In the case of a purchase offer, you have the opportunity to test the market yourself and to put our offer to the test.
